Facts About Jewelry
:: The standard for hallmarked silver is 925 (Sterling silver).
Silver jewelry with traces of nickel is prohibited in the EU, USA, Canada,
Australia, UK, Spain, Italy and other countries. Therefore, the use of
pure copper and zinc, which are cadmium and nickel free, are recommended.
If you are subcontracting a part of your production, make sure that these
products are of the same purity as yours. One will have to supply the
correct alloys. Silver jewelry must be at least 925 pure silver. The other
alloys (800 or 835) are hardly ever used in the EU. For example, if the
alloy is 922, the buyer will be held responsible, will get a fine and
the silver jewelry is likely to be destroyed. In case of doubt, you could
consider using an alloy of 930 or 940.
